Holly

Meet Holly, a graceful twelve-year-old Manx from Lakeland, TN, whose tuxedo coat gives her the air of a true lady and whose gentle heart makes her a treasure to be around! With her black-and-white fur arranged in the classic tuxedo pattern, she always looks dressed up for every occasion, whether that’s curling up for a nap or chasing her favorite wand toy across the room.

Despite her senior status, Holly has a spark of playfulness that shines through whenever those wand toys come out. She’ll leap and bat with the enthusiasm of a kitten, then happily slow down to soak up gentle pets and chin scratches. Affectionate without being demanding, she is the kind of cat who quietly slips into your heart, offering companionship, comfort, and the soothing sound of her purr at the end of a long day.

One of Holly’s most remarkable qualities is her easygoing nature. She has shared space with both cats and a dog in the past, showing that she can be compatible with other furry companions. She’s also friendly toward people, warming up with quiet confidence and showing her sweet personality in no time. Holly is litter-trained, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean bill of health from her veterinarian, bloodwork and all. The vet even described her as a “healthy girl,” which is music to anyone’s ears when welcoming an older pet into their family!

As a Manx, Holly is part of a unique breed known for their short tails, strong back legs, and affectionate personalities. Many Manx cats are famously loyal, often bonding closely with their caregivers and following them from room to room like little shadows. Holly embodies that spirit, balancing independence with the desire to be part of whatever her people are doing.

What Holly needs now is a calm, loving home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by warmth, kindness, and companionship. With her sweet temperament and playful quirks, she is ready to bring joy, comfort, and a touch of elegance to her new family. Could your heart and home be the place where Holly’s next chapter begins?
